Just two days before Mitt Romney and President Obama's debate on foreign policy, officials say that Iran has agreed to nuclear talks. From the Times: "The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran's nuclear program,

A profile on Elizabeth Emken, the GOP Senate candidate from California: "Prior to her friendship with Diaz, Emken had a similarly intense friendship with Tim Radi, a fellow member of the group, not realizing that he too would later come out as gay.

okay to be who you are." And to the argument that marriage equality is "redefining marriage," Kluwe says, "We're not
redefining marriage to take away someone's rights. We're redefining
marriage to give someone rights. It's about freedom." Video here. I'll try to find an embeddable version.
